Good review thanks. I like the mix of table top and on body it gives a good idea of how the pants fit and function.This has made my mind up will be ordering a pair. :)
Really great in depth review! TLDR *5:11's pant line is excellent for tactical/CC/EDC, at a reasonable price*With my EMS/Fire/Rescue background, I was a hardcore Dickies/Carhart guy. Carhart makes a great work pant, but they are missing key features for EDC/CC/training/competition. I had no idea how great a quality tactical pant is. The 5:11 Apex pant is a game changer for AIWB carry, especially if you run a full size pistol. Flexible waistband keeps holster snug. Holstered pistol doesn't wander, like with jeans or regular cargos. I can use a thinner, less rigid belt, as well. I love the non-bulky/non-blousing cargo pockets. I tended to catch and tear other cargo pants/shorts on obstructions. The large cargo pockets are perfectly sized for AR/ mags, even 40 rounders and AK mags fit quite well too. I've got four pair of the Apex cargo pant and three of their EMS 11" shorts, which offer a lot of the same features. They've also got some nice button down shirts, tailored for EDC/CC. I got one free as a promo and then bought a couple more. All my 5:11 gear is worth every penny!
Awesome pants. I'm actually alternating betwenn those for casual time and Fast Tac Urban ones, which kinda makes me a 5.11 fanboi, eh, when I go at work (we're demanded to wear kind of business styled attire, so Apex is a no go even with their highly concealed cargo pockets). But when I slip into Apex's and take a strol into city/nature hike - boy oh boy, those are the best thing that can happen to your legs, no sign of any fatigue or discomofort in any below the belt area, you can load your cargo pockets with all kinds of gear and stuff and still feel extremely comfy and lightweighted. The only downside is that Apex pants do not repel inks stains (had a ball-roller pen in front pocket of Stom colored pants and it leaked a bit of ink turning into a slightly noticable ink stain, tried both hand washing and washing machine, but the little sucker still stays no matter what I throw at it)
I ordered these pants in Tundra (192) , based on comments here, and they arrived dark green in colour, despite them being brown on the 5.11 website pics, so I exchanged them for Burnt (117) and they are actually brown like the ones here...
this is one of the most comfortable pairs of pants I have ever worn. one part I think you missed is the gussetted crotch. after this pair of pants, I never want to buy another set without a gusset.
you totally did! I just had a brain fart :) I love these pants. I live in New Orleans and I always wear these when we have rainy weather. have a great day!
Love the trouser I have 3 , 2 have material pulls at the back of the leg near the cuff no idea why this is happening unless it's caused by my boots ???
I have had the pants for 4 months now and use them for work, the left cargo pocket zipper has frayed and is coming undone. Granted this could be a fluke, and I have recently contacted 5.11 to see if there is a warranty with it or if they are willing to replace it for me.
Rick B they eventually did. It took them over a year but their excuse was the original person who I spoke with has since left the company and my complaint was going to go unnoticed had I sent them another email about it
@@Gunmonkey5 Good cause I like those pants but don't want issues from them on warranty items. You still using them or have you switched to something else?
Rick B I still use them on duty but it was just a bad first experience that got me. I figured a company that was made for police and law enforcement should have better standards than that.
@Maddog , I typically wear 36x36 in the 511 stryke pants what is your opinion on the size I would wear in the Apex pants . I don't have a dealer close to me with them in stock to try on. Nice review!
What size where you displaying? I'm between a 36 and 38 and was wandering in your opinion if I ordered 36 that flex in waist will be acceptable, because if I get 38 just little big and 36 or just right but needing extra room for conceal carry, thanks for the vid...
Why don't you guys show us walking around in them? So much pants reviews are useless. All copy cat always laying them on the table. We don't wear our frigg'n pants on the table.

Nice review. If only u could get a full portrait shot on the waist down
this is one of the most comfortable pairs of pants I have ever worn. one part I think you missed is the gussetted crotch. after this pair of pants, I never want to buy another set without a gusset.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. I did actually mention the gusseted crotch at the 2:51 mark.
you totally did! I just had a brain fart :) I love these pants. I live in New Orleans and I always wear these when we have rainy weather. have a great day!
Mad Dog Tactical I just bought these pants they are badass and comfortable. thanks
Glad you like them Brian. I have to agree with you. They are very comfortable.
Love the trouser I have 3 , 2 have material pulls at the back of the leg near the cuff no idea why this is happening unless it's caused by my boots ???

Did they warranty the pants?
Rick B they eventually did. It took them over a year but their excuse was the original person who I spoke with has since left the company and my complaint was going to go unnoticed had I sent them another email about it

jnumme597 I feel like they're true to size so order what you usually get in size. Glad you liked the review.
I have the Stryke pants. And they are hot in summer for hiking. Are these apex more breathable than Stryke?
Not sure if they are more breathable than the Stryke pant but they are not too hot. I will say though that the Urban pant is very breathable.
Mad Dog Tactical thank you for replying! Your information was helpful. I ended up ordering the Fast-Tac cargo pant.
I just want to know what color you're reviewing thanks!
Great question Robert. It was the Tundra. Hope you liked the review. If so, please click the Thumbs Up and like it. Have a great weekend.
Are these slim fit?
No not slim fit. I wouldn’t call them baggy. They fit like a normal pair of jeans.
@@maddogtactical6880 Okay thnx for the reply. Good review, hope you make more

I too and between 36 and 38. I went with 38 and love it. I even wear them when I'm not carrying and they are fine.
@@maddogtactical6880 appreciate your reply back and informital vid thanks again already orderef

Because they are so short in the crotch, I returned them.
@@maddogtactical6880 they look so comfortable lol
thanks for the reply!
Great review!
vitaly Thanks glad you liked it.
K presio tiene
Also, hooray for HB 1927! Another free state.
Have you ever worried about your wallet coming out of the back? Im worried cause there isnt velcro or a zipper back there.
No as the pockets are pretty deep. However there are other more secure pockets you could use. Thanks for the comment.
